[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16969262, member: 70025"] After all that it was time to install the carb, wiring and O2 sensor. Got the carb mounted back up (you cant even see the rubber tubbing attaching the hard lines to the base plate now). You can see the 4 wires at the bottom of the picture and behind the carb that need to be taken care of (black, red, green and yellow). [ATTACH type="full" alt="20231021_131027_resized.jpg"]1814257[/ATTACH] Here you can see that since I followed the factory vacuum hard line nothing interferes with the carb linkage. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20231021_145508_resized.jpg"]1814258[/ATTACH] Here you can see I got the 4 wires at the computer box taken care of. I used some of the wire loom I had left over from my 65 Mustang project to make this look cleaner and more factree LOL... I then installed the mini air filter on the IAC valve/MAP. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20231021_145446_resized.jpg"]1814259[/ATTACH] Here is the completed project. I'm VERY happy with how it looks and performs.
